Try it by IP address Try it by 127.0.0.1 can you ping 127.0.0.1? Is your lo interface configured? If all of that checks out, see if you acutually have (shudder) rsh and rlogin daemons running. For that you could try netstat, lsof, or nmap. good times, -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
